Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.

			 (1) Malignant neoplasm of prostate is defined as code C61 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). (2) Based on NHS boundaries as of October 2006. (3) Each primary care organisation (PCO) is listed under the strategic health authority (SHA) to which it reports. The 152 primary care organisations include 148 primary care trusts (PCTs), and four care organisations (CO's). The PCOs are not all coterminous with SHAs—see Annex C footnotes at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/gcography/health_areas.asp  Note: The numbers of cases for the strategic health authorities (SHAs) have been grouped together at the top of the table because the total cases for each SHA are not always the same as the total cases for the primary care organisations (PCOs) reporting to the SHA. This is because PCOs boundaries are not all coterminous with SHAs boundaries as detailed in footnote 3 of Table 1.  Source: Office for National Statistics
